answer to the “Zamboni Question”)
Here are some typical questions which you might have to score if you get a job as a Measured Progress test scorer:
Grade 3 math (from New Hampshire & other states): the “Rabbit Fence” question
Grade 4 math (from Montana): the “Cookie” question
Grade 4 reading (from Montana): the “Volcano” question
Grade 8 reading (from Montana): the “Zamboni” question
Grade 8 math (from many states, including Massachusetts): the “Geltz & Luna” question
Grade 10 reading (from Montana): the “Informational Interviewing” question
(These questions can and do move around from state to state.)
Also: Assorted multiple choice questions (from NH)
